WHO Is In My Car Seat?!Connect the dots to find out!
♥ How can a Teddy Bear save a life? Keep a large teddy bear in the child’s car seat when it’s not oc-cupied. When the child is placed in the seat, put the teddy bear in the front passenger seat. This will remind you that your child is in the back seat.
♥ Put your cell phone in the back seat (or something you’ll need like a handbag, lunch or brief case, etc. on the floor board) so you HAVE to open the back door.
♥ BONUS: if your cell phone is in the back seat, you can’t talk or text while driving -- a dangerous distraction!
♥ Make sure your child care provider has ALL of your phone numbers, including emergency contacts. Ask them to phone you if your child doesn’t show up when expected….then check your car (or the car of who drops off your child).
♥ If you see a child alone in a vehicle, get involved. If they are hot or seem sick, get them OUT as quickly as possible….and call 911 immediately.
♥ Mistakes DO happen. Make it a HABIT to open the back door of your vehicle EVERY time you get out!
♥NEVER leave your child alone in the car!It can take only minutes for your child to overheat and die.

Mouth Guard Safety
• Damaged teeth do not grow back!
• You can use a “boil and bite” guard (you can find these at stores that sell sporting equipment) or a custom made guard from your dentist.
• Make sure you can talk and breathe with your mouth guard in.
• Clean your mouth guard, but don’t share it with your friends. This spreads germs and you can get sick.
• If someone gets hurt and you think the injury is serious, call the doctor.
• If someone is unconscious, not moving or not responding to you, call 911.

“Safety for All Seasons” -- formerly K.I.S.S. Your Kids (Kohl’s Is Sold on Safety) – is a research-based child injury prevention program which brings your family safety information all year!
Nationwide Children’s Hospital, with generous support from Kohl’s Cares®, sponsors seasonal educational initiatives to promote the prevention of the most common injuries seen in our emergency department — injuries that are leading causes of death for kids and parents.
Visit our web page to learn about coloring contests, community events, and other ways you can get free information, or even a free helmet to help protect your brain in every season — while on your skates, sled, bike, or scooter!
www.NationwideChildrens.org/Safety
While at our website, you can try our safety video game, “Play it Safe!” or find out which car seat or booster seat is right for a child (or when he or she is ready for a regular seat belt) with our simple “Car Seat Chooser” web app!
PARENTS!The center of this book on gold paper is a section called the “Pull-Out Parent Pages!”Included are simple safety measures you can use to help keep your family safe all year. You can remove this section and post in your home for quick reference. There are also two wallet cards (one for you, one for a grandparent or sitter) to cut out for keeping important numbers handy.
We hope you also enjoy the rest of this book with your children...and stay safe!

Lawnmowers can cause disfiguring and deadly injuries!• Keep children AWAY from
mowers at all times: they can be injured and/or burned.
• Mow when grass is DRY: slipping on wet grass can cause serious injuries.
• Mow when it’s fully LIGHT: even at twilight you can’t see well enough to be sure
of safety.
• NEVER allow a child to control a mower and NEVER leave a running mower unattended!
• Never take a child on a riding mower!
Children can easily fall out of windows!
Screens can keep insects out, not children in.
If a child can climb it, keep it away from the windows! ONLY open windows kids CANNOT reach.
Set & enforce rules to keep children’s play away from patio doors and windows.

Be ready to stop when a bus has yellow flashing lights.
Review bus safety rules with your children.
Help your child to be on time for their bus.
Take turns supervising bus stops for smaller children.
